Dewitt4 x 112.5 Foot Photodegradable Single Layer Garden Netting Commercial and Home Landscaping Erosion Control Blanket, Green

This is a thick landscape fabric. I put it down last week and grass is already coming up through it. I was a bit concerned that it was too thick but it seems breathable enough yet keeps the grass seeds in place for erosion protection which was why I bought it in the first place. It hasn't been long enough for me to see how it degrades into the soil but so far so good. It's a bit expensive but if it helps grow grass on sloped lawn that is sensitive to wash outs, then I'll be happy. There was a shipping issue and they helped resolve that quickly. So far, I would recommend this product if you need to grow grass on a slope.

Worked as expected.

I read multiple reviews on similar products and they all said there was very little hay and lots of plastic. Not so with this. I was pleasantly surprised and it was as expected. Once you find the starting point it is very easy. Get some stakes to hold it down if you are expecting any wind.

I seldom write reviews of products but I’m making an exception for this product, which has worked very effectively for me. I had two locations in my yard that would not grow grass successfully despite several annual efforts. The one in my front yard was a knoll-even when I roughed up the dirt and worked in the grass seed and fertilizer, watering washed most of it away. For this year’s grass planting I wanted to try something new and decided on this erosion control blanket to hold the seed and fertilizer in place. It took a bit of time to lay out the blanket, but it turned out to be worth my efforts. This year I had a very nice stand of grass that is still looking good at the present (October); this was a place that formerly looked good at first but turned bare by July. The second one was in my backyard which was not only on a slope but received direct sun all day long. Having had success with the blanket in my front yard I laid it down over my seed and fertilizer in the back yard-it has again produced a sturdy stand of grass. Not only did the blanket hold the seed and fertilizer in place but watering took a minimum of time and water, as the blanket held the moisture; I started with two 20-minute waterings per day and after a couple of weeks was able to reduce watering to15-minutes once a day. If not for the blanket, I would have been out there off and on all day long to keep the new grass from drying out in the direct sun. The fiber material in the blanket dissipates, so no removal is necessary. In sum, I highly recommend this product. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary, but this blanket worked great for me.

product laid down nice and was easy to anchor down with 4" staples. There is a bit of an oil/fuel smell when first unwrapping and adding the first watering then it dissipates. Just applied product yesterday so not sure how well it will promote grass seed germination and how well it will hold seed in place during rain storms.

Have used this product before with excellent results. Mostly using it to keep bare areas moist and covered (especially during this heat) while the seed gets really established. It is supposed to be be biodegradable and I am sure it is but I lift it to prevent the grass getting caught in it and lay it back down because I need this new lawn THIS year for a wedding. It is doing an awesome job.I saw a few folks had a hard time unrolling it ... the ends are painted with a little red color so that you can see where they are. A little patience is all it to to fully unroll.

This product is a total disaster. Will not unroll unless you continuously cut twine. No directions. Comes apart and is very very messy. Do not purchase!

Once u get it rolled out it works well. Had a few thin spots but I think they all do.
